Join us for the 6th Annual Springfield Oyster and Beer Festival for Charity. In the first 5 years, the event has raised over $30,000 for area charities! Sample upwards of 100 fine craft beers and ciders from local, midwest, and even some national breweries. Tantalize your taste buds on a variety of oyster dishes as well as several food vendors while listening to live bands. Having a good time is that much easier when it's for a great cause!
